"'Long About Midnight" lyrics

Wow. I was having a nightmare about Odie. What time is it?
Midnight. Must've slept for hours. And I haven't had a thing to eat!
Better fix that right away

Long about midnight
When everybody else has long been sleepin'
He'll be creepin'
Down to the kitchen of the house
Long about midnight
When nobody else is even movin'
He'll be groovin'
Quieter than a mouse
Down to the kitchen of the house

I said he pokes his head around the corner
To make sure nobody's in sight
Jumps up on the kitchen table
To see what the cat can drag out in the night

Around midnight
When everybody else is safely sackin'
He'll be snackin'
On a big lamb
Toast and jam
Lasagna in a pan
Long 'bout the middle of the night

Now, does he regret it?
Yes, he feels so very blue
And when he gets too round
He tries to cut down
Only for an hour or two

Then around midnight
When that ol' hunger gets to stirrin'
He'll go purrin', light on his feet
Till he starts to eat
Long about the middle of the night

Long about midnight (Long about midnight)
Watch that cat creepin'
Goin' down to the kitchen (Long about midnight)
Just to see what he can be eatin'
Long about midnight (Long about midnight)
Watch that cat purrin'
Oh, 'cause he will be stirrin' (Long about midnight)
Down in the kitchen of the house
Long about midnight (Long about midnight)
Watch him movin'
Easin' into the kitchen (Long about midnight)
Just to see what he can be chewin'
